XShip

XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings. This creates more stability.

Hagane Body

The HAGANE Body is produced from highrigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

CI4 Plus

CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used on many highend Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.

Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.

Super Free System

The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system (SF) was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, and when the clutch is disengaged the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool.

FTB is a new brake system which is developed especially for finesse baitcasting. The brake unit is usually located at the spool, but with the FTB system the braking unit is outside the spool. This made it possible to develop the lightest Shimano spool ever. In the braking unit there are 8 magnets (each of them is removable to create less braking), which are the brakes of the spool. By turning the knob on the outside of the reel body, these magnets are moved deeper or shallower into the spool. Deeper means more braking power, shallower means less braking power. This magnet moving mechanism also adjusts itself to the rotational speed of the spool, during the cast. At the beginning of the cast (the spool is turning fast at this stage) the magnets are closer to the spool to create more brake. At the end of the cast, the magnets will have more distance from the spool; this creates less braking power which is required to reach a good distance. This system creates the right amount of braking power during every stage of the cast.

Exciting Drag Sound is a technology which enables to have a drag sound on a baitcasting reel, without using a rattle / clicker function. It works just the same as the sound of a spinning reel when line is pulled from the drag: a 'click-click-click' or a 'swoosh' sound is heard. This is a nice feature for a lot of anglers, who like to fish with a baitcasting reel but who are missing the sound of the drag when fighting a fish.
